Good to know: The Department accepts only electronic license and renewal applications; renewals are submitted and paid online at www.nipr.com. The $125 biennial renewal fee is the resident Insurance Producer fee shown on the official DOI Licensing Procedures document. Late/reinstatement fee tiers were not confirmed on a Delaware .gov source (a third-party source, NIPR, lists $225 for Mar 1–Aug 31 and $425 for Sep 1–Feb 28, plus a $200 CE late fee, but this could not be verified on an official page, so late_fee_usd is left null). Ethics requirement was reduced from 4 to 3 hours per the 2006 amendment to Regulation 504; current requirement is 3 ethics hours within the 24-hour total. CE provider/course lists are published by the Department via the SBS system.
